Today, Liushu Village is full of joy.

In the northeast corner of the drying yard at the door of Sangbai's house, ten large firewood pots were lined up in a row, and each pot had an attractive smell of meat.

A master was busy with five apprentices. From time to time, apprentices took out the meat from the pot and sent it to the master to ask.

The master nodded, and the apprentice started to pick up the meat. As long as the master started to shake his head, the apprentice would put the meat back into the pot, cover the lid and continue to simmer.

Not far from the master, it is a simple wooden operating table that is more than one meter, five meters wide and three meters long. Now the table is full of seasonings, rented bowls and chopsticks, three braised pig heads, and a cooked pot of beef tendon meat.

The rest of the drying yard was placed in wedding stands.

It is said that the wedding shed is actually a two-meter-high shed built with plastic cloth as the roof and bamboo as the ribs. It is mainly not used to block the sun but to shield the wind.

There are two or three or four tables in a shed. From tonight, there will be large mats in these wedding sheds.

The so-called flowing mat is when one group of people finishes eating, and another group of people continues to eat, just like flowing water, it is called flowing mat in the countryside.

According to the head, Sangbai has to open at least two seats tomorrow. Now there are two main customers, some of which are Xia Yanqiu's relatives, such as aunts and uncles, uncles and aunts.

Whether it is Xia Shijie's parents' home or Zhao Meiling's parents' home, they all have many children, such as Xia Shijie, who is the eldest, but there are seven sisters under him, and they all have married.

Zhao Meiling's brothers and sisters are more prosperous than Xia Shijie. The nine brothers and sisters all have their own families.

In this way, there are about 30 adults alone, and there are children from each family. Now, who has at least two or three, so there are nearly forty cousins ​​and sisters of Xia Yanqiu, and about seven or eight of these peers have married. To sum up this family, let’s put it this way, Xia Yanqiu’s relatives have more than the total population of Liushu Village.

However, there are almost a dozen people who haven't come here today. Some are because they are far away, such as those who live in the city, marry outside the countryside, and some are a little bit despised by these relatives in the countryside.

Anyway, the old saying goes, rice raises a hundred people, but what kind of relatives don’t have, right?

There are also people from Liushu Village. I won’t mention this part. Sangbai’s marriage will definitely be a shortage of people.

At this time, except for the children and the girls dressed up as brides, everyone is busy. Now it is not like in later generations. Just find a hotel to sit in and wait for the banquet. Now the banquet is all about relatives and friends, so it is normal to work with them.

Now that I’m looking for a restaurant to hold a banquet, it’s really better to ask the chef to do it at his own home.

The first is to save money. When the tables in the hotel are placed, everyone in the ordinary family feels so sad. Not only do they feel sorry for money, but also food coupons and meat coupons.

The key is that the food may not be delicious, because even the chef and waiter in the hotel are regular workers. Employees who are paid by the state will be unhappy and will directly give you a face. Do you think your wedding is bad?

The second is that everyone can see and touch what they eat, and the quality of the ingredients is guaranteed.

For example, Sang Xi used local pigs. Of course, there are no foreign pigs now. They are all from national pig factories. When they arrive in the market, they all need meat tickets. Where can Sang Bai have the time to use money to exchange meat tickets, and then use meat tickets to buy foreign pork to eat.

"Brother Sangbai, Brother Sangbai!"

Sang Bai looked in the direction where the sound came and found that Chen Dongsheng was running towards him happily.

"What's the matter?" Sangbai asked loudly.

"We've brought the crab to you."

As he said that, Chen Dongsheng waved his hand behind him and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

A group of children a few years younger than him were ordered by him to circle around. The two carried a basket, and a total of seven or eight baskets were lined up to Sanbai.

Now this is a good time to eat crabs, so Sangbai asked these children to catch crabs and then pay for them by pound. Although it is not as good as the market price, it is also a very good income for the children in Liushuzhuang.

"Look!"

Several baskets of crabs were placed in front of Sangbai, and Chen Dongsheng lifted all the lids for Sangbai to see.

Sang Bai stretched out his head and found that each crab was not small, about four taels. You should know that these were all female crabs, and there was no male crab. It would really cost a lot of money to put such a big crab on Sang Bai.

But this thing is not valuable now, and it may be quite expensive to expand the city, but farmers rarely eat it in the place of origin. First, this thing is not full, and second, it is troublesome.

"Not bad, not bad!"

The chef also came over and took a look, nodded and praised: "This big blue crab is first-class, but why are it kept like this? It will die at least half of it tomorrow. I have to find someone to tie up this thing."

"How to prick?"

Chen Dongsheng asked.

Sang Bai really knows what it looks like when he pricks it, but he doesn't have the ability to pricks it.

When the chef saw that no one could pierce this thing, he couldn't pierce it by himself. When would he have to pierce those four baskets of crabs?

So the chef thought of a trick: "Put these crabs into the snakeskin pocket. The right thing is to have the fertilizer pocket. Put them tightly and tie them up, so don't let the crabs move..."

When Chen Dongsheng heard this, he said, "No need to be so troublesome. Just put it in the tank. If you die tomorrow, let's take it again. There are still more than a dozen cages in the river. The male is even bigger, but Brother Sangbai doesn't want it."

"Okay, let's put your crabs in there, remember the account first, and we'll get together after I'm done these two days," Sang Bai said with a smile.

Chen Dongsheng immediately waved his hand when he heard this and said, "No money, we don't have anything to give when you get married, so we treat it as a gift from us."

Sang Bai smiled and rubbed the youngest girl's head: "Yes, now everyone knows to send gifts!"

"Brother Sangbai, don't rub my head. I'm fifteen this year and I'm a big girl." The girl said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, you are a big girl. If you have nothing to do, go into the house and let your sisters get you candy," said Sangbai.

Sang Bai had a lot of thought for this wedding. Not to mention anything else, I just bought nearly thirty kilograms of this big white rabbit milk candy. This thing is so expensive. If it weren't for this one in my life, Sang Bai would be a little reluctant to let it go.

When these children heard that they had milk candy, they carried several baskets into the yard like flying.

Especially the big girl just now, she ran faster than a rabbit.

Sang Bai walked into the wedding hall and started counting the stools one by one, thinking that he would have to go to the village to get the stools when the time comes.

Before counting a few, I saw Ji Shuping coming.

"Don't count, I've counted it three times. There are quite a few stools, and there are twelve tables here and there, one hundred and twenty stools."

After saying that, Ji Shuping said, "You are really particular about doing this. If you put it in another family, you can save at least five tables of food."

Sang Bai smiled and said, "This is the only time in this life, what should I do? By the way, Uncle Shuping, I heard that your family had a happy event yesterday."

There is a custom now that women and children don’t have to eat on the table. Sang Bai came here forty years later, how could he recognize this custom? That’s why there are so many tables that others can save at least one-third of the number of tables.

Ji Shuping was even happier when he mentioned the wedding: "It is indeed a wedding. If both sides discuss it, it will be the next two or three months."

Yesterday, Ji Lianyong, the eldest son of Ji Shuping's family, went on a blind date with a girl. I heard that the girl had nodded, and Ji Shuping's family was very happy.

Because of blind dates, as long as the girl nodded, it would almost be a good idea, especially Ji Lianyong was thirty-five or sixty, so he had no capital to choose a girl.

After being happy, Ji Shuping said again: "It's a lot I want over there!"

Sang Bai said: "If you agree, give it to me."

This is the truth now. The girl who looks like a girl is not young anymore. She seems to be twenty-two years old. In the countryside, she gets married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. She will be recognized by everyone when she puts a wedding certificate. As for when to get the marriage certificate, no one takes it seriously.

The girl of twenty-two is naturally surplus with Ji Liantong, and the girl is not ugly either.

To be honest, if it weren't for the development of Liushu Village now, in outsiders' words, the turtle grandsons of Liushu Village sold the things to RBs and shook them. Such girls would not be taken by the matchmakers at a glance at the young man in Liushu Village.

Sang Bai is not a guardian, and he didn't think about persuading Ji Lianyong to make love. If that's the case, Ji Shuping would probably be able to chase Sang Bai with a knife for dozens of miles: Your operation is obviously a matter of making the Ji family's greatest success.

Ji Shuping stretched out two fingers: "This is the number that matchmaker said!"

"Give it to you, your family will pick peaches next year. At most, the money will be back after working hard for a year," Sang Bai said with a smile.

"Where are the second and third brothers?" Ji Shuping said.

Sang Bai smiled and said, "It wasn't Mr. Lu that he asked the village if he didn't have the money right away."

"You have to pay it back if you borrow it," Ji Shuping said with a wry smile.

Now everyone outside knows that the people in Liushu Village need to be rich, so some people who have their own daughters naturally get up to the point of getting into a wealthy relative.

Think about it, Ji Lianyong, who was in his thirties, had matchmakers to tell him to get along. As long as the remaining bachelors in the village were good-looking, they would naturally come to the door to say that they had kissed him. But until now, only the girl on Ji Lianyong nodded.

According to Sangbai's estimate, these two years have been the concentrated year of the joys of Liushuzhuang.

Just as she was about to say something, Sangbai heard Ma Xiaoyan's voice coming from the yard: "Sangbai, Sangbai!"

As Xia Yanqiu's good friend, Ma Xiaoyan naturally appeared at the wedding. Not only her, but also Xia Yanqiu's company is doing well today, either she came here by herself or someone brought gifts.

Of course, Sang Bai and Xia Yanqiu were not prepared to receive gifts from others. Not only theirs, but also all the relatives and villagers were confiscated. This was really a hindrance to face. For example, it was given by elders, which was also worth one dollar.

No family is rich these days. The richest ones are Sang Bai and Xia Yanqiu who are getting married today. They are not going to be ready to strip away relatives and friends’ pockets.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Ji Shuping said: "You are busy with your own business, please don't worry if I take care of you here."

Sang Bai smiled at Ji Shuping and said, "Don't worry, what's wrong with you here?"

After saying that, he took a trot into the yard.
Chapter completed!
